Snowbird Ski Resort
Along with its linked neighbour Alta, Snowbird offers perhaps Utah’s finest powder skiing thanks to an exceptional snow record and some fine open bowls and tree runs.
2500 acres of fantastically varied terrain is on offer at Snowbird and with over 12m of snow on average each winter, your chances of hitting the powder jackpot are pretty high. From tree runs in the Gad sector, to the open bowl of Mineral Basin and the serious steep terrain underneath the iconic Aerial Tram, Snowbird is home to some of the USA’s best runs in fresh snow. Make sure you check out the terrain over the hill at Alta – just note that snowboarders are still banned over there.
The location also makes it super easy to access from Salt Lake City – the drive takes around forty-five minutes – as well as the other resorts in the Wasatch Mountains, making this an ideal stop on a multi-resort trip.
